Hawaii’s New Traffic Rules Explained | Honolulu News

Hawaii’s new traffic rules are shaking things up—especially for teens and electric ride users. Now, you must be 16 to ride in a pickup truck bed, unless you’re working on a farm, responding to an emergency, or doing certain jobs. The “move over” law also expanded to include any vehicle with hazard lights on. Meanwhile, e-bikes and scooters face stricter limits: top speed capped at 28 mph, and helmets mandatory for riders under 18. With rising crashes and fatalities, officials are cracking down—non-compliant devices could fetch a $500 fine or even be seized. The state’s pushing hard on education before enforcement ramps up, so everyone should know the rules before hitting the road.
